I just got a copy of a screen idler by Moshe Branner - IDLE12.PRG. Has anyone
heard of this one as I cannot get it to work as advertised. It's supposed to
clear the screen after 6 mins of inactivity, but doesn't after at least 15! The
only thing I can think of that is disrupting it is a program called MOUSDOUB in
the Auto folder which speeds mouse movements. Any ideas anybody? Or is there a
better screen idler around?
A sidenote: I have been trying to figure out the order of execution in the
Auto folder. It is nothing at all to do with the way the desktop files are
sorted (Name, Date, Size, Type), and doesn't *appear* to be anything logical.
Keep on computing!
Chris
